Validity of Passports 
- Infants (up to age 3) are issued with a 3 year passport. 
- Children aged 3-17 are issued with a 5 year passport. 
- Persons aged 18 and over are issued with a 10 year passport. 

In certain cases (e.g. where a previous passport has been lost or stolen), the Passport Office may restrict the validity of a replacement passport. 

Passport Processing Times
All passports are processed by the Passport Office in Dublin. The current processing time is approximately 4-6 weeks, providing all documentation has been supplied and is in order.

Please note: The practice of Exchange/Replacement Passports has been discontinued. Therefore, if a passport holder wishes to change an aspect of his/her passport (e.g. the passport is damaged, there are no more visa pages left or a change of name on passport is required), a new passport must be applied for and the appropriate fee paid in full.
